What are you drinking now?

[Qhrumphf]

Starting off the weekend with an RIS.

 

[starrfish]

RJ Rockers Black Perle, black IPA. 9.5% ABV. Very smooth & drinkable for strength.

 

[passedpawn]

Sipping my 2.5 yr old 12% barleywine. Not a fan of the style, so I never drink it... although at this moment I'm wondering why. It's very nice.

Cheers, HBT'ers. Enjoy your weekend.

Hop on Top.. taste like a hoppie bud light

 

[g-love]

Laughing dog anubis coffee porter. First time n lovin it!

 

[Wus67]

A nice big ol' 750 of Chimay Blue

Belgian Dubbel. I converted the Northern Brewer extract recipe to a partial mash. It came out great. Very rich malty taste. I have to work on these slowly, I think it will get much better with a couple of months of age.

 

[TorribleBrew]

The Event Horizon from Olde Hickory Brewery...yum!

 

[millworkman]

Nice and boring, yuengling light.

My irish blonde after 9 months, using a nylon cover over the autosiphon bubbles in the tube over half of it racking,thought i oxidize,nope still very good . Used some (sorta noticed sulfer) water thought it would have boiled off, but im picking a little up just barely.
Pumpkin with T-58 ,i think it would have been better with some other dry yeast.Not caring for that yeast.

My first pint of this, fresh on tap: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/anyone-brewed-ipa-ekg-140192/#post1591350

Fresh in the keg. EKG for bittering/aroma plus Chinook for dry hop makes a nice combo, and there something about British style IPA's that remind me of why I started liking IPA's way back when.

Very underrated NC brewery.

My california uncommon. finally! I like it after 3 months, extract and parital also fininshed low 1.005with s-23 @ 68ish, had off taste previously had a filmy white layer on top thought it was infected, racked anyway. I carbed fairly high but no gushers no overcarbonation and a nice clean light malty beer. Wtf? Im enjoying this more than a urthel hop-it, which this was sorta hop-less or old.
I just think im back on the homebrews, ive never tasted anything like some of my homebrews.When i dump the rest of an expensive beer,but drink mine it makes me feel a little good. By the way i used NB Organic LME + Organic Gambrinous pilsner malt +Organic Great Western malt. Recipe from Homebrewers recipe guide.Subbed hops.Not really shure how it finished that low with s-23 mashing at 150 ish, i just think i femented too high and got some offishness at first which finally subsided.
I know im rambiling but also am trying to note some experience here as i see them develope.This could have been someones dumper,i was paranoid about mold and infection.Im drinking an excellent beer now.

The black ipa was on tap at bonefish grill (?) in south point mall about a week ago. Really great. I picked up a bottle of that and the "death by hops" at sams quick shop. Can't wait to try them.

Death by hops is a great Ipa and a great value. It was originally co-brewed with a home brewer too so double points there.

 

[HexKrak]

Just finished my attempt at BierMuncher's Cream of 3 crops that came out tasting like apfelwien.

 

[Brulosopher]

My own Red Leaf Autumn Ale (India Red Ale) and my own Sorta Porta (Porter brewed with Special B and Carafa II). Gooooood!

 

[Kosch]

Just finished one of my homebrews, a recipe from the LHBS for a "Mirror Pond Clone". But I used fresh hops for the last addition. Its far from a real clone, but it was tasty!

Now just poured a Sam Adams Griffin's Bow Barleywine. My first barleywine actually. It's not bad. The hops taste very.. separate.. from the rest.

Rum and eggnog while trimming the tree.

I would try Sierra Nevada's barleywine. Dont hate a barleywine because of SA. I just think their beer is not a good interpetation of alot of good beer,just my opinion but speaking of someone who hasnt tried all SA too.But tried hundreds of others .
Im not a big barleywine fan with not much expericence with them , either way im just saying let them warm some and try a bunch.

Ha thanks for the info. I definitely wasn't hating barleywine because of this one I had looked around for the SN, but haven't found it yet (though I probably haven't looked very hard). I really only grabbed it because it's the first barleywine I found and happened to be at the grocery store.

I tend to let most of my beers warm up a bit, usually I'll only take a sip or two and then let them sit for awhile.

Cheers!

My homebrewed Pumpkin "Saison". It was a Pumpkin Ale kit from Midwest Supply that I chose to use WLP 568 with since my LHBS was out of what I originally needed. Turned out pretty well. Too thin though. That 568 gobbled up everything! Finished at 1.008! I think with a higher SG it would be awesome though.

 

[nrock74]

New Belgium Belgo again. I'm really diggin this one. Different and delicious.

Just picked up some of that for the first, very tasty indeed!

Was the mirror pond recipe close to this one? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/mirror-pond-pale-ale-clone-70466/. I haven't had the real thing, but I did this one and it was quite tasty. I'm so sad because I just kicked the keg on it.

Belhaven Scottish Ale. Since I have branched out from Miller Lite, I have discovered a whole new world of beer!!!!! Have some Deschuttes Black Butte Porter in the fridge also.

This Belhaven is the first Scottish Ale I have ever tried. Have to say it is pretty good!

Belhaven was one of my "gateway" beers. I credit my amazing housemates for being the ones to always keep some belhaven, Newcastle, and Sierra Nevada in the fridge.

My Wheat stout, after brewing a RIS. MMMM it is StoutCember.

A great day cleaning garage with some awesome New Belgium Snow Day!!

 

[runningweird]

a bottle of Stone Levitation that's been cellaring(hidden) for over a year. Its really disappointing in all honesty, its lost so much hop aroma that its just bitter and malty - plus its really over-carbonated even after being chilled pretty low - so much so that its hard to swallow without wanting to burp at the same time.
